NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- AIG's new boss will make an annual salary of $3 million and receive bonuses and stock options worth millions more, according to a company filing on Monday.

Chief Executive Robert Benmosche, who took over the bailed out insurer's reins on Aug. 10, will take home $3 million in cash and $4 million in stock options.

According to an AIG spokeswoman, Benmosche will receive his "stock salary" in equally divisible, bimonthly payments of common shares. Under the terms of his pay deal, he can't sell those shares until August 2014.

The new AIG CEO will also be eligible for $3.5 million annual performance bonuses. The bonus will be prorated for 2009. He is not eligible for any kind of severance package.

In the Securities and Exchange Commission filing, AIG also said that Kenneth Feinberg, the Obama administration's pay czar, "expressed approval in principle" for Benmosche's compensation package. Feinberg still must formally approve the new CEO's compensation.

AIG has received a larger federal bailout -- $182 billion -- than any other company. Executive pay has caused a series of political firestorms.

The insurer is required to get its 2009 compensation plan approved by Feinberg. In addition, it still has nearly $240 million in 2008 bonuses to pay out. A $2.4 million payment scheduled for July was held up by Feinberg's office, pending further review.

Controversy over the bonuses erupted in March after it was revealed that employees of the company's crippled Financial Products division received $165 million in retention bonuses. That unit wrote the complex derivatives that nearly brought the whole company down.

After the controversy, then-CEO Edward Liddy opted to receive a nominal $1 a year salary and gave up a bonus. Liddy retired on Aug. 7.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., who has been outspoken about his criticism of AIG's bonus payments, has said AIG should be led by an executive paid a competitive salary who can help ensure the company pays back its sizeable debt to taxpayers.

When Benmosche's hiring was announced earlier in the month, Cummings said the new CEO will be held to a high standard.

"I caution him that my colleagues and I will be closely watching his progress," said Cummings in a statement on Aug. 3.

Prior to joining AIG, Benmosche was the CEO of MetLife (MET, Fortune 500) until he retired in 2006. He oversaw MetLife's transition from a private to a public company, which experts say gave him the experience necessary to lead AIG's transition from the world's biggest insurer to a much smaller domestic life insurance company.
